HPE StoreVirtual 4000
Storage
Versatile storage for your virtualized
environments
Data sheet
In today’s virtualized environments, traditional
storage cannot adapt to the increasing
requirements of performance, availability,
and management. You need a simple, flexible
storage solution ideally suited to the demands
of your virtual data center.
HPE StoreVirtual 4000 Storage, based on the
LeftHand operating system, is a scale-out
storage platform designed for the fluctuating
needs of your virtualized environment. It’s a
solution that delivers on all fronts: availability, data
mobility, disaster recovery, manageability, and
growth. The StoreVirtual’s all-inclusive feature
set adapts to business demands and allows
for aordable growth of storage as needed.
With inherent enterprise-class storage
software functionality and leading
virtualization software integration, StoreVirtual
can support virtualization growth at all stages.
Intuitive, common management simplifies
storage administration. And, storage federation
enables data mobility across tiers, locations,
and between physical and virtual storage.
StoreVirtual is also one of the most versatile
storage platforms in the market today. Its
software-defined storage Virtual Storage
Appliance (VSA) software, and HPE ProLiant
rack and HPE BladeSystem-based hardware
models provide options to fit any infrastructure
and budget.
Key features and benefits
Easy storage management for virtualized
environments
•Platform integration with VMware® and
Microsoft® increases storage functionality
and ease of use while application integration
simplifies storage management for
applications. Backup and recovery is equally
easy with snapshot and Remote Copy
integration for virtualization platforms and
Microsoft Windows® applications.
•Managing hundreds of nodes in your
environment is just as simple as managing
your first two; whether they are on the
same site or across multiple sites. The
centralized management console (CMC) lets
you configure, manage, and monitor your
storage easily, making everyday operations
simple and eicient.
•Updates and upgrades are stress-free.
Update software with a single click. Migrate
data online to another cluster of storage
hardware. Swap nodes within a cluster for
maintenance, or upgrade to new generation
technology without any downtime.
StoreVirtual is designed to give you peace
of mind.

Scale array capacity and performance
without disrupting applications
•Scale linearly in both capacity and
performance with the scale-out architecture
of StoreVirtual. Scaling storage is as simple
as adding nodes to the cluster, so you can
seamlessly and non-disruptively grow as
your business grows.
•Network RAID technology aggregates
all resources and capacity into a single
storage pool. So, every volume in the cluster
can access all available capacity. This
also means all cluster resources—CPUs,
RAID controllers, NICs, caches, and disk
spindles—can contribute to performance.
•To remove any single point of failure, the
Network RAID functionality also stripes
and protects multiple copies of data across
a storage cluster. Redundancy is managed
on a per-volume basis—to improve
storage utilization, and match the data
protection of the volume to the application’s
requirements.
•With iSCSI and optional Fibre Channel
connectivity, StoreVirtual works great even
in mixed protocol environments. You can
deploy a single, flexible storage solution for
all locations. Be prepared for what the future
may bring—migrate from one protocol to
the other without having to redesign or
replace your storage.
High data availability and superior
disaster recovery
•With proven 99999 percent1 high availability
and reliability, the storage cluster can sustain
multiple concurrent failures and still keep
data online and accessible to applications.
What this means to you is worry-free storage
for your centralized data center, as well as for
remote and branch oices.
•VMware certified multi-site disaster recovery
delivers business continuity with failover
that is transparent to users and applications.
The multi-site configuration maintains data
availability beyond a single physical or
logical site, and validates full compatibility
with VMware High Availability (HA) features.
•LeftHand Remote Copy lets you
asynchronously replicate thin provisioned,
reservationless snapshots between primary
and remote locations. You can centralize
backup and disaster recovery on a per-volume
basis while using application-integrated
snapshots for faster recovery.
•With LeftHand Peer Motion, an online data
mobility technology, you can move volumes
across all deployed StoreVirtual nodes
regardless of platform or drive type.
StoreVirtual is the only product that oers
data mobility across tiers, locations, and
between virtual and physical storage.
Aordable enterprise functionality
with a comprehensive feature set
•The all-inclusive license of StoreVirtual
covers enterprise-class storage features,
management, and value-add tools. You don’t
need to purchase additional software—buy
only the storage you need today and grow
non-disruptively in the future.
•Scale from software-defined storage
VSA software to ProLiant rack and
BladeSystem-based hardware models. Mix
and match product models that best fit
your infrastructure. The result is simplified
management and feature consistency.
•Transform the internal storage of your
existing VMware vSphere® and Hyper-V
servers into fully featured shared storage.
HPE StoreVirtual VSA creates a converged
infrastructure that enables data mobility
across virtualized servers, sites, and between
virtual and physical storage platforms.
